The owner saved me lots of money by recommending I try to recharge my solar batteries for a few days before replacing them as they are very expensive. He was right! Saved me over $200 replacing those batteries. This place has great prices, aand they will do quick work like sizing or simple battery replacement while you wait. I will be taking some of my mechanical and automatic watches here for service in the future. I highly recommend this place!

I recently found my mom's old Rolex Datejust that had been sitting in a safe deposit box for at…read moreleast a decade. It wasn't running anymore, so I brought it to Shant for a full service. Since the crystal had a few scratches, I also had him replace it while he was working on the watch. The whole process took about a week, and when I got it back, I was honestly impressed. The watch looked almost brand new, was running perfectly again, and it was really special to see a family heirloom brought back to life. Shant was great to work with throughout the process. He's knowledgeable, honest, and clearly passionate about watches. It's hard to find someone you trust with a valuable timepiece, but I wouldn't hesitate to bring another watch to him. If you have a watch that needs servicing, repairs, or restoration, this is definitely the place to go. I'll definitely be back the next time one of my watches needs some attention.

Vic is the best!…read more Around 15 years ago I started going to Altadena Watch Company and have never looked back concerning my watch and jewelry concerns. The customer service is impeccable and the quality of work is beyond expectation. Not only does Vic do great work servicing, repairing and cleaning jewelry but he also does some excellent custom work. He has completely rebuilt and restored watches for me, and he designed and made the engagement ring I gave my fiancé. If you want quality watches and jewelry, as well as excellent service, go see Vic! SupportAltadena!

I've been moonlighting as a "watch repair guy" these past few months, which basically means I've…read morebeen breaking things and calling it "fixing." It was a total hit or miss--mostly miss. Then I got a new watch and realized what I actually needed wasn't more YouTube tutorials... it was professional help. Enter: Time Essentials! The second I walked in, I was greeted with kindness and service so good I half expected them to offer me snacks too. John (pretty sure he's the owner, but I'm also convinced he might secretly be a time wizard) went above and beyond fixing three of my watches. Prices? Totally fair. Speed? He fixed them in under 10 minutes--faster than it takes me to find the "skip ad" button on YouTube. Safe to say, I'll definitely be coming back. If your watch is broken, don't waste months pretending you're a horologist like I did. Just go to Time Essentials. HIGHLY recommend!

I took 2 watches in for new batteries and asked to clean up one of them since it looked a bit dull…read more He said $60, which is expensive (I can get batteries changed for $12 each in Burbank) but out of convenience I said ok. He said 30-minutes. I left and when I came back he said he forgot the charge to clean the one watch so it's $100. I refused and he quickly said $60 is okay. The watch he cleaned has the gold worn off since he ran it through the machine even though he said he wouldn't and would just use liquid and buff with a cloth. NEVER AGAIN. He tried to scam me out of 40 more dollars just to see if I would. Horrible service.

I brought three watches in for service, but one is a solar watch and he said that watch needed a…read morenew battery and capacitor, and the other watches just needed batteries. he gave a price of 160.00 to fix all three watches. he was able to put a battery in the two other watches and I paid 50.00 which meant I owed him 110.00 but after a couple of days went by, I got a call from him saying the solar watch was ready. I went into pick the watch up and he said you owe me 160.00. I guess he was doing the new math. I say stay away otherwise he will use that new math on you.
